Had a box in the trailer from the memory lane swap I just unpacked, and forgot I bought this, a rear reflector and housing for my 49 B6. Also got a new to me truck to haul the trailer and push some snow this winter if it shows up!

I bought this quite rare 1930 Boyd Traffic Light that has reportedly hung in a 3rd floor ball room in Columbus, Ohio since the 1940s where it was when I saw it.. the house is a 10,000 square foot house built in 1910 in historic downtown Columbus.. amazingly it was only about 6 miles away from the Boyd Traffic Control Equipment Company's Head Office !! the company was very short lived and opened in late January 1930 and closed the same year !! here's the house it was in all those years.. and one of the light.. and one in front of the building where the company's Head office was... almost 91 years later !!

Picked up a '93 Chevy G20 Gulfstream conversion van from the original owner. 105k miles, 350 v8. Only rust is a couple small bubbles that aren't through the paint yet. Got a really good deal, but it needs a few things. Going to tackle the tune up today, then I have a couple other things to fix. Not sure how long I'll keep it, but looking forward to cruising around with the family once I get a few things squared away.

This post war Monark was for sale locally. The seller’s dad (who customized this bicycle) was a pin striper and custom car builder. It’s suggested this bike was customized in the 60s/ early 70s.
The black photo is the inside of one of the rear fender skirts. The skirts and the triangle pieces on the front wheel all look like they were cut from the same Coca-Cola sign.

Here is another oddball bike. I have never seen one off these. It is a Raleigh comp tech 1, I believe from the mid 80’s. The story is that it never sold in the bike shop, so the owner of the bike shop took it home and put it in the basement. I got it from the guy that bought it from him 10 years ago. I do not know the purpose of this bike. It has 20 inch wheels, 6 speeds and a steel frame ( it is not light in weight). Any info would be appreciated. Thanks.
